New Process for Artificial Marble

A NEW process for the manufacture of artificial marble has recently been patented in Berlin. Asbestos, dyeing materials, shellac, and ashes are pounded into a stiff mass, and then subjected to high pressure. The product is very firm and tough, is easily worked by means of tools, can be given a fine polish, and in appearance is said to be so nearly like genuine marble that it is impossible to distinguish between them.
